THE NEW OIL GAS
The Invention which will Make n sale
For OIL.

A dispatch from Bolivar, a small town
in Allegheny county, In the oil region, Is
ns follows; "The little town Of Bolivar
has never been 40 famous as at present
since the frat discovery of oil in this re-
gion. The people seem to talk OF nothing
hut the discovery Of gas made from crude
oil, by William A. Myers" A reporter
visited the little oil town to learn the true
facts OF the case, and found the town in
great excitement William A. Myers, the
inventor, was found at the Clark House
and on being asked about the new light

III have invented a gas apparatus by
which we can generate, from one barrel oil
crude oil, from 100000 to 1856, 900 cubic
ieel Of gns for fuel purposes, which will not
cost more than two cents thousand, and
will give such heat as to melt iron, steel
or any other metal. We can also generate
by the same process 5000 cubic feet OF
carburetted hydrogen gas, forty.two can
die power by actual piotometer test, for
Illuminating purposes, which will enable
us 10 give TO the public fifty to seventy i've
cent gas"
Upon invitation OF Mr.. Myers, the re-
porter, accompanied by several other gen
tlemen, visited the Office where the g,s was
being made on small scale. The process
is very simple, and IL requires very little
machinery. Mr.. Myers exhibited the gss,
which gave beautiful white light, said to
be far superior TO water or coal gas. "You
see." said the inventor, that this process
Of manufacturing gas is very simple. We

Some papers are deploring the exist.
Ing practice of Congress in wasting
much time in political scheming and
just at the close rush through impor-
tant measures in indiscribabe confusion
and without proper considerat ion, while
many worthy and important measures
fail to get through for want of time.
They fail to see remedy for this deplor-
able state of affairs. Has not President
Cleveland adopted the most practical
cure for this. He gave notice in ad-
vance that he could not sign bills crowded
through without time for consideration
and since noon of the 4th inst. he is
walking around with fifty "pocket We.
toes" in his vest pocket. This is the

The news from Columbus says n bill
has passed the House to divide Perrys-
burg township into two voting precincts,
the second precinct at Lime City. A
petition was signed for this division
about a year ago, and remonstrance
was started. According to the fairest
and best estimates made there was just
about seven-tenths of the voters in the
towp. signed The remonstrance. 1t was
supposed this ended matters, but it seems
not. There should be radical changes
made in our system Of making voters
run the gauntlet to reach the polls, etc..
which should not be hastily crowded
through without investigation at the
close of the session. but it would seem
that in case of the location OF voting
precincts the will and convenience OF
the majority should be fully respected.

Sweet-Scented Aristocracy.

CITY OF MEXICO, May Ain all the
higher circles of the capital little else is
heard but talk of the prospective duel,
in which the Spanish minister is con-
cerned, and the hope is expressed that
the trouble may be settled without
bloodshed. On Saturday night, at a
ball at the Casino. an aristocratic
Spanish Club, among the guests was
the beautiful daughter of Ex-Marshal
Bazalne. of France. She was escorted to
supper by Senior Barron, young gentle.
man of wealth and position. He was
called from the side of the young lady
by Senior Mariaga who undertood to
chide him. Some say Barron SAYS he
accused MIN of too much familiarity
with Miss Fazaine. AT any rate.
bitter words were exchanged, but
trouble was avoided by the timely
interference OF friends. The Spanish
minister took up the quarrel, and a
friend of the Bazaine family, on the
ground that his c3untryman has acted
improperly in dragging the name of the
young lady into notoriety, there
upon quarrelled with the minister, and
made comments rejecting upon the
minister's standing IN the Spanish co..
ony. Again blows were prevented by
the bystanders. The excitement was
intense. Men shouted and women
screamed. The two principals were
taken charge OF and escorted home by
their friends. This was 2 O'Clock Sun
day morning. Since then negotiations
have been made for a duel, while efforts
are being made outside to hush it up.

The Germans Opposed to Anarchism

CHICAGO, May 4.-To-day, the first
anniversary of the Haymsrket bomb
throwing. was made the occasion of
significant action by the German
Americans of this city. Every Chicago
banker, manufacturer and prominent
business man of German extraction,
joined in the presentation of a
costly silk American flag to Editor
Michaelis, Of the Freie Presse, in &C
acknowledgement of his services in fighting
anarchism. The donors, to the num-
Der of 600, accompanied the gift with an
address, signed by them, vigorously de-
nouncing anarchy, and repudiating all
connection with the =" friends" who
have preached it. Michaelis and his
property, according to the evidence
in the anarchists trial, was marked for
destruction with dynamite in the out
break of year ago to-day. and only es-
capped because of, the cowardice of the
group that was detailed to accomplish
the purpose. Since the trial, he has
been exceptionally outspoken in de-
manding that the sentence pronounced
be carried into execution.

The Case Against Fotherinehsm

ST. LOUIS, May 4.-The trial of Ex-
press Messenger David S. Fothering-
ham was resumed in the Criminal
Court to-day. Conductor Quagle was
recalled, and testified that the messen-
ger was tied TO the stoYe, and when he
was released his limbs were numb. He
said that Fotheringhsm told him that
be heard a knocking at the door when
the train stopped at. Mineke, and did
not respond because at that time the
robber covered him with a revolver.
The defense brought out the fact that
the messenger was compelled to accept
passengers in the express car when on
orders of superior. The conductors
testimony showed that the robbery was
not committed ID this city, and the de-
tense moved that the case be thrown
out of court. Judge Normoyle gave it
as his opinion that the robbery did not
ocouriin this city, and consequently was
out OF the jurisdiction of his court, and
accordingly dismissed the case. 1t will
now be carried to st. Louis county.

Bourbon Democrats.

LOUISVILLE, KY. May 4.-The State
Democratic convention, which assem-
bled shortly before noon, was thrown
into a furry as unexpected as it was for
time lively. Temporary Chairman
Hill had just concluded his address,
when Hon. James Mckenzie introduced
a resolution, heartily endorsing the
administration of President Cleveland,
and moved it's adoption without wait
ing the completion of the permanent
organization, or the formality of ref
erence to the committee on resolu-
tions. Mckenzie was cheered as he
read his resolution, but Congressman
Taulbee sprang to his feet and moved
that McKenzie'S motion DE laid upon
the table, declaring its adoption would
commit the Democracy of Kentucky
to policies to which it was known to be
antagonistic, such as civil service, etc.
He was for any resolution endorsing
President CleYeland's honesty and in
tegrity of purpose. (Cheers.) After
Withdrawing his motion to lay upon the
table his motion that the resolution be
referred to the committee on resolutions
was passed. Chairman Hill afterwards
decided McKenzie's motion out OF
order. The convention then proceeded
to permanent organization.
